Church Of St John The Evangelist

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a church located in Buttercrambe, dating from the 13th and 15th centuries, with significant rebuilding that took place between 1878 and 1881. It is constructed of sandstone and limestone ashlar, topped with a Westmorland slate roof. The church features a 3 1/2-bay nave and a 2-bay chancel set at a slight angle.

On the west front, there is a pointed doorway beneath a flat hood-mould, with two single-light trefoil-headed windows above it. The nave windows are designed in the Perpendicular style, and the south wall displays 3 1/2 bays of a blocked 13th-century arcade, with a blocked 15th-century door visible within the arcade's blocking. The chancel has a round-headed door from around 1200 on the north side. The first bay of the chancel includes ogee-headed single-light windows, while the second bay features 2-light Perpendicular windows, with the northern window being a 19th-century replacement. The east end has a 19th-century 3-light window in the Perpendicular style. A bellcote with a pyramidal roof is situated between the nave and chancel.

Inside, there are wall monuments, including a tablet dedicated to Dorothea Darley, who died in 1674. This monument features a slate tablet in a chalk surround flanked by Corinthian columns that support a broken pediment with an achievement. There is also a memorial to Richard Darley, who died in 1706, along with two sons; this plaque is flanked by putti on a shelf that carries three busts, surrounded by drapery.
